“While remote work keeps people travelling, this is a great way to maintain face-to-face connections.” “The idea behind our morning kick-start and evening social hour is to provide guests with an opportunity to mingle with other guests, allowing them to feel a part of the larger travel community,” says Toubayly. Kimpton hosts morning kick-starts and evening social hours daily while Canvas Moncton offers a coffee-to-cocktail bar to establish inclusive environments. The lobby design concepts, also known as The Living Room, at both Kimpton Saint George and Canvas Moncton function as vibrant social hubs and have proven to be attractive selling points for digital nomads. “The hotel is community-focused and makes conducting business easy while providing a launching point for exploration.” “ digital nomads mixing business with pleasure, Canvas Moncton’s urban location is ideal,” says Perry Vashee, president of Opal Hospitality, who entered into a joint venture with FiveFive Queen Developments to co-own and manage Canvas Moncton, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. Other Hilton Honors perks include the ability to earn a stay credit, premium Wi-Fi and executive lounge access. The company also launched a Hilton Honors offer, allowing loyalty members to earn 10,000 bonus points after their first Workspaces by Hilton stay. A remote office with Workspaces by Hilton includes a private guestroom, complimentary standard Wi-Fi, sufficient desk space, a comfortable chair and a selection of tea or coffee. Workspaces by Hilton are available at roughly 25 properties in Canada, including Hilton Garden Inn Toronto Burlington, Homewood Suites by Hilton Montreal Midtown, Hampton Inn by Hilton Port Hope and Canvas Moncton, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. “That said, we have a strong focus on investing in the technological infrastructure of our properties.” “At Kimpton, our job has never been to change people’s travel behaviours but rather adapt to the ever-changing landscape of the travel industry and stay ahead of trends,” says Nabeel Toubayly, general manager, Kimpton Saint George. Additionally, Kimpton’s TVs are Chromecast-enabled, which is suitable for streaming, work-related presentations and meetings. Toronto’s Kimpton Saint George for example, owned by InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), has taken its technological infrastructure to new heights by setting up routers in each guestroom instead of having designated router locations on each floor to provide secure Wi-Fi and Ethernet access. Premium Wi-Fi is the most important amenity for digital nomads. In response to a growing legion of digital nomads, hoteliers are tailoring their offerings to emphasize technology, well-designed guestrooms and communal spaces and community-led initiatives. Today, we’re seeing a shift from work from home to work from anywhere. Within 10 days of the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, 4.7 million Canadians had made the shift to working from home, according to Statistics Canada.
